Try Performance Products: www.performance4benz.com. Look under lighting for a SL. They list them at $616 a pair.

There is a 2006 SL65 pass side on ebay with a starting bid of $49.99 , I believe that the SL55 and SL65 tail lights are the same.

Verify with your dealer's parts department but I saw a 2007 SL55 and it still had the same type taillights with the smoke in the middle. The SL550 are clear in the middle which is a change from the 2003-2006 SL500.

the 2007 sl55 and sl65 actually has a clear center with a smoked lense in the middle

the 2003-2006 sl55 and sl65 has a the orange/red center with a smoked lense in the middle.

I was told by performanceproducts4benz that the 07 tails will not fit on the 03 to 06 models. I had him double check and he said he is positive.

I'd love to get a clarification on that as a guy sells the normal red/white 2007 tails on Ebay for the 2003-2006's.

We are getting conflicting advice here. A couple months ago, when I asked this forum if 2007 lenses would fit a 2005, it was posted that they will definitely fit. Now it's being posted that they definitely will not fit.

I think the only way to know for sure is to stop by the body shop at an MBZ dealer and find out.

Whoever posted they do not fit is not reputable, they fit.

By the way...BMA Auto Parts in Glendale, CA. $350 each on the 2007 tails, awesome deal....$120 each off book. I just got the quote today and will be ordering tomorrow.

I just bought the 2007 AMG tails and the clear 3rd brake light for 870 shipped from BMA. I will post pics when I install. Not bad considering they list for 1100 or so.
